D: Justin Morrow (Toronto FC) – The veteran has filled in well at right back, showing again on Saturday why he's one of the top fullbacks in the league, scoring a goal and shutting down any San Jose attack on the right side.

D: Kevin Ellis (Sporting Kansas City) – In addition to pitching in on Sporting’s clean sheet, the defender took advantage of set pieces to notch an assist and goal on the night.

F: Krisztian Nemeth (Sporting Kansas City) – Was sharp against Dallas and made a few killer turns in the box while also scoring a goal and assisting on another. The Hungarian international looks to be settling into MLS very well indeed.

F: Sebastian Giovinco (Toronto FC) - The Atomic Ant is becoming one of, if not the, best playmakers in MLS. He finished Saturday's game with two assists but could have had more and a goal or two.

Coach:Peter Vermes (Sporting Kansas City) – Has his team firing on all cylinders despite the absence of many key players.
